Googlebombing came up at a recent party, and I had a hard time explaining the technology, so here's a web page that not only covers the definition, but includes examples of current or recent Googlebombs.

What's a Googlebomb?
A Googlebomb is when a group of people link to a specific chosen page using a specific chosen link-text, in order to push this page up in the Google ranking. This can have political reasons and discredits a person, or is done for fun as part of a SEO (Search Engine Optimization) challenge. [via ResearchBuzz]
